Mobocertinib (Exkivity®) is a kinase inhibitor.
FDA Approved Indication(s) Exkivity is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non- small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test, whose disease has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in the confirmatory trials. ___ Takeda, the manufacturer of Exkivity, will initiate voluntarily withdrawal of Exkivity after post-market data from the EXCLAIM-2 Phase 3 trial revealed Exkivity did not meet the requirements of the FDA Accelerated Approval regulation (see Appendix D).
